Favorite Quote:
Because, he said, "I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you - especially when you are near me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous channel, and two hundred miles or so of land some broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapt; and then I've a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, - you'd forget me.”


We get this crazy notion
We can change the world
A plan sets forth
But life has its own
It’s filled with twists
Turns
Lulls
Bumps
Things are broken along the way
Hearts
Dreams
Sanity
But we trudge on
Dream in hand
As waves of life crash against us
We erode into the sand
But we keep going
How long till you get there?
How many roads crossed and bridges burned?
When will you realize you can’t do what you want to
But what you have to?
By all means, keep on going
But remember, things fall apart
